Please Stand By. You Broke The eShop (And Bank)

Remember Pokémon Bank, the 3DS app that lets you transfer your old Pokémon to Pokémon X&Y? Well, it’s now released on the eShop! Wait, what’s that you say? The eShop is down? Pokémon Bank isn’t on the eShop? Ohh, I see now! Apparantly too many people bought a 3DS and Wii U as Christmas presents and the network went down from everyone wanting to download their system updates and digital games. Nintendo didn’t think the Wii U would actually sell, so I guess they took no preparations.

Luckily we’re all going to be paying $5 a year so we have reliable Bank servers, so Pokémon Bank should go live the moment the eShop goes back up, right? Nope. As the eShop servers went down, they took the online storage servers of Bank with them. Even if you had downloaded the game, it still wouldn’t work. So much for seperate, reliable servers. Just hope the $5 goes to development of RSE remakes instead of a new sportscar for each Gamefreak executive. Pokémon Bank has now got the tentative release date of To be determined which is not of much help. Still, I’d expect it in the next week or two, once the Christmas/New Year’s rush cools down.

Hope you all had a nice, exhausting Christmas, like I had! I also hope you don’t have to study like I do! I’m going to tackle Organic Chemistry for a while, see you soon. I also didn’t forget about PJM, an update will go live in the coming days.

  1. I know it’s off topic, but do you think the only reason Dedenne is Electric/Fairy, is so fans wouldn’t worry about Pikachu being reclassified as one?

  2. So I’ve done research which has me optimistic again… Apparently

    As someone previously said, the Japanese description of the item is exactly the same as it was in gen 5, which would seem to imply that there was simply a translation mistake in the US version. I checked some Japanese resources to confirm this.

    would be dumb if shiny charm only effected wild pokemon after we caught every wild pokemon. So looks like it indeed does still effect egg breeding. Yesss I have hope.

    I can finally go to bed with a smile lol

  3. I will end my eventful day now. I did nothing all day. Then I worked out, ate, choked on doughnuts which I feel bad about now, attempted to Masuda a Squirtle but didn’t finish, got some unobtainable starters and other pokes and bred a shiny Oshawott first egg on accident. And had an epic battle with Ziia and her terrifying Lucario. Not bad. I feel like my inner trainer has come back.

  4. Does anybody got any spare mudkips? (No, I’m not referring to this because of the meme. I really want my first poke I ever had back on my side again)

    KID: My kidney visits me at night!
    scene changes to night, kid in bed
    enter KIDNEY
    KID: Hello Kidney!
    KIDNEY: Hello, Jeremy.

  8. Okay, so this is what I’ll do. In a few minutes, I will post an extremely zoomed-in picture of a Pokemon. Whoever correctly identifies it first gets a Magician Klefki.
